Quote:Millions of galaxies, hundreds of billions of stars, infinite voids and nebulas... all of these, God created, yet assigned no particular purpose. Of the 120+ extra-solar planets currently known to exist, he also assigned no purpose. He created all life on one planet, which is merely one out of nine in our system. Why the other eight? Why anything? Logic would dictate that the best way to do something is the easiest way to do it: if you're gonna create a species in your image, why create an infinitely complex and vast cosmos? For the challenge of it?
You might as well ask why humans only have two arms when having four would be more efficient or why human brains aren't bigger so that they can do more complex thinking. It is what it is.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
